Volodymyr Groysman and Jean-Marc Ayrault met in France for talks on several important issues

Ukraine’s Prime Minister and French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault met in Paris for talks on OSCE police mission in Donbas and clearing mines in the combat area. The press service of Ukraine’s Cabinet said this on Friday morning.

Groysman stressed that there is no alternative to Minsk agreements, and Ukraine has been complying with its respective commitments. He added that sanctions against the Russian Federation should be preserved until it fulfills its commitments foreseen by Minsk agreements.

Groysman also reiterated that Crimea’s annexation has been followed by forced militarization of the peninsula, which completely changed the security situation in the region.
